Removal of a boney tumor from the jaw leaves a large intraoral defect. It is the province of the Board Certified Prosthodontist to restore function and aesthetics for these patients.
This gentleman lost 13 lower front teeth and a large volume of bone both vertically and horizontally. Instead of having to wear a removable partial denture of tremendous bulk, five dental implants were placed in the remaining lower jawbone and the implants supported a screwed in place prosthesis which replaced the missing teeth and gums, thus restoring chewing function, normal speech and pleasing aesthetics.
